Why is it so hard to leave a relationship you know isn't right for you? In this episode, I explore the neurobiological and somatic reasons why women find themselves repeatedly drawn back to partners - even when their mind knows it's unhealthy.
We dive into how dopamine floods your system in early dating (shutting down critical thinking) and how oxytocin bonds you through touch and co-regulation.
For women with complex trauma and multiple losses, breaking these patterns is even harder. Through my own personal journey, I share how self-touch practices became the key to resourcing myself instead of outsourcing my regulation to another person.
What You'll Learn:
~Why your critical thinking goes offline in early dating

~How complex trauma makes breaking attachment patterns exponentially harder
~Why somatic practices work when talk therapy doesn't
~The power of self-touch to stabilize your nervous system and create your own oxytocin
~How reparenting your younger self through body-based work breaks unhealthy cycles
